According to the post, the old man named Angelito Calingo, as he was fondly called “Lolo Lito” was a victim of robbery after some identified men came to their house and stole their money last week.

Unfortunately, the old man’s capital in selling candies were also taken by the ‘bad guys’. That explains the reason why the old man was not seen for seven days in the place where he used to sell.
